Precedent Comparison to Fort Kam

Fort Kamehameha Historical District

The precedent studies each contain certain elements in their design, policies, or nature which relate directly to the context of the Fort Kamehameha project. While each precedent is different in scope, scale, and type, each can inform how the Fort Kam project evolves. Although there are multiple contexts by which the precedents can inform the project, each were selected for one or a few specific characteristics.
